Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Ultimate Edition was released on Mac OS X as a complete version of the game containing all DLC and expansion packs. It was developed and published by Feral Interactive on March 26, 2012.[7] To date, the Ultimate Edition has only been released on the Mac. It contains:

Despite providing early access to powerful gear, the contents received from DLC packs and/or the Limited Edition bonuses actually puts the player at a disadvantage, as the added weapons are rather large and takes up a lot of valuable inventory space. This is especially straining considering how small Jensen's inventory is when the items are deposited.

Also, the provided bonus items are even more of a hindrance to stealth or Pacifist-centric playstyles, as all of them are either lethal weaponry or explosives.

If the Director's Cut upgrade was purchased digitally through GameStop or Steam then the stock game, if already owned, will be granted all DLCs upon installing the upgrade, including the Missing Link story missions, which are seamlessly grafted into the main plot flow.
